[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is in CS, rankings are meaningless. There are high stats kid all the way down the line into schools in the 100s, most of whom were WL at much higher ranked schools that kids with the same stats got into. There are fewer spots than qualified students, which is part of why people also note that for CS, it matters much less where you went to school -- there are strong applicants at all the schools.[/quote] This is a big mistake in my opinion. Being a CS major as an undergrad isn't all that important if you want to work in big tech or fintech. You pass up general school reputation for specialization in grad school but not undergrad.[/quote] Are you saying to tell your 18YO, who wants to study computer science and has wanted that his whole life since he built his first computer at age 10, not to study computer science so that he can claim some school prestige on the diploma with a degree he doesn't want? What?[/quote]
